That's from Advil Latrine's first single.

That's been annoying me for a day, it sounds like a quote I should know.
Close but no cigar :)
"Fair is foul, and foul is fair:
Hover through the fog and filthy air"
Hmm! A topic for TC-RTC, me thinks :)

These have been out for years. They're standard equipment on some cars,
now. My Honda came from the factory with a stereo able to play MP3's.
Capacity seems to be about 13-15 albums if you compress at 128K :D

Really? That's interesting...
Benny's car is a Skoda. I find it amusing that owning a Skoda used to be
considered the ultimate insult, yet today Skodas are actually quite
good. (A fact that their advertising seems to deliberately play on...)

I'd probably compress at a higher bitrate, and dream about being able to
use Vorbis instead, but hey, I'm weird...

LOL, I wasn't quoting anything, but it probably isn't the first time it's
been said. :-)

Best invention ever - I would never get a car that wasn't capable of playing
MP3s now. Most new cars have some option for getting MP3s in to it, either
through the CD player, USB socket or memory card socket. Car designers
realise that everyone has portable music players and MP3s now...
Some cars even play video DVDs you know!

Hmm, I must be living in a different world or something...
In the world where I live, people buy second hard cards that are about
20 years old. And even that is cripplingly expensive. When I was a kid,
my family went through old wrecks at a prodigious rate. Nobody in my
family has ever owned a "new" car. They're just too expensive.
And then, about 4 years ago, I purchased the newest car that anybody I
know has ever had. It was 3 years old. It's so new, in fact, that it has
*metalic* paint. And electric windows. And power steering. And ABS. It
even has *air bags*.
As far as music goes, most cars come with an AM radio. With mechanical
tuning buttons. (You know, "radio buttons"?) If you're lucky they have
FM as well. And if it's a really expensive car, there might be a tape
deck. My current car is unique in that it can play *CDs*. In fact, it
has a *six* disk changer in the boot. Advanced!
Sure, I know there are absurdly rich people who can afford expensive
shiny cars that have all sorts of electronic gizmos in them. But
seriously, normal people don't have that kind of money...
> Some cars even play video DVDs you know!
Ooo, so that's why so many people die on the roads? :-D
